Love May Be For Fools

by Jaime   Nov 28, 2006


Acting a little funny,

Feeling a little strange.
Open arms to the blissful jaws-
Of love, of hope, of change.
Like lightening painted on the plainest night,

Instead of your typical stars.
Nothing but fairy tales to plot out reality:

Love breaks barriers, and raises bars.
One may struggle to find this fuzzy glow, for it
Varies in forms and size.
Endless security is no guarantee, but

It brings with it's claws unbearable highs.
So many fall blindly to a crude imposter,

A brutal stranger with loves calming mask.

However, masks are only temporary facades
And those who trip discover it's one sinful task.
People are too quick to take the time that is
Presented to them, to discover the beauty of-
Yellow skies, butterflies, rainbows and

Flowers, shooting stars and falling in love.
Of course, those that experience the magic
Obviously can't relate to the turmoil below them.
Love may be for fools, but fools are happy; and lack of is just tragic.

    "Like lightening painted on the plainest night,"
    That image was beautiful.

    Now this poem interested me, normally, i can't get into free verse easily but the flow and the wording of this poem just drew me in.
    The message that is portrayed in this was done so cleverly. Especially in the very last line.
    So true.
    Excellent work!
    5/5
